Need to Know

Getting Here:

The Culture + Entertainment District is under construction, with more than $600M in city-building projects led by CMLC underway in the area, as well as the Calgary Stampede’s Sam Centre and the City of Calgary’s Green Line LRT, resulting in significant road closures and detours.

We know that construction of this nature can be disruptive, but we are confident that The C+E will be an exceptional destination for Calgarians and tourists alike when complete, so we appreciate your patience while we bring the vision to life.

During this time vehicle and pedestrian access to the ‘Dome will be restricted and parking may be limited.
